OWOLABI, 25 Dec 2017The bigger the screen size, the more the advantage and battery life. Just hope this device wil... moreIt should be same dimensions as mi max 1 & 2. Only screen is bigger (bazelles top and bottom surface). I have mi max 32gb (first one) and I'm loving using this device. Hardly wait for third gen.

Are you assuming that 6.44 inches will just stay snug in your pocket? That's absolutely false, 18:9 will PROBABLY make this device as big as the Z Ultra as I've already stated, and the Z Ultra isn't even pocketable.

Haha, fanboys are calling straight tablets "phones" these days, not even phablets.

I called it back in Mi 3 era "it's too big, and the way things are going there would be no phones". My phophecy came true, it's all phablets these days and straight tablets even (likethis one). Phones (pocketable even in skinny jeans, usable exlusively with one hand) are dead, we now have bricks for phones ... lol

Most women don't, i keep it in my bag (I have to carry a power bank too, so pocket is not an option. Headphones and other accesories too).
7 inches? Bring it on!

7" 18*9 phone is easier to fit to your pocket comparing to 6.44" 16*9 because it will be narrower and taller. Just like any pocket.
My wishlist is:
*oled screen
*More ram
*rgb notification light
*maybe dual front facing speakers
*ois at back
*nfc
*immediate release of kernel sources is a big need

7 inches w/ an 18:9 screen ratio?! That's still insane, it would probably be as big, if not slightly bigger in size than the Xperia Z Ultra. This thing just can't be pocketable. This is definitely a gimmicky cash grab brought to you by Xiaomi. They hit you with that sweet novelty effect, then a few days later you realize how much of a burden a large phone can be.

Anonymous, 23 Dec 2017Nobody care about US market.
So long as China, India, Indonesia, can sell well.
US is a ... moreIt's an inferior market because the majority of Americans can afford flagship phones unlike India, a 3rd world country. India has the widest smartphone selection and I applaud that, however I wouldn't attack the US market and call it inferior when we don't need too many low-end phones flooding our country.
